After Li Yang joined the walkie-talkie conversation, the others also "joined the group chat."
There were bursts of talking and static, environmental noise, alternating sounds. They used the walkie-talkie to exchange thoughts with varied intentions in advance.
Guan Yu: "Li Yang, where are you guys? You're not still wandering around the supermarket with Brother Cheng, are you?"
Li Yang: "We parted ways with Brother Cheng long ago. Guo Yin and I are... I won't tell you."
Guan Yu: "Pfft—who cares. Brother Cheng? Brother Cheng? Would you like to join the group chat?"
After a slight hum of static, a distinctive clear voice joined in.
"What's up?"
Guan Yu: "Heh, nothing much, just pulling you into the group. Did you happen to hear or see anything strange just now?"
Cheng Zhirang: "No. I was on the main road and only heard an electronic voice saying the file card was activated. There was no other reaction. Are you all together?"
